A good choice for a relaxing venue, with a nice atmosphere and good food. Came for a weekend lunch with a group. Very busy place and was probably fully booked but seemed like there were plenty of staff on the day keeping up excellent service...More

We came as part of a Princess Cruises packaged tour of the winery including wine tastings of several wines. Tony Soljans, the owner & descendent of the founders did not disappoint. He was very friendly & welcoming, answered all our questions, gave a very delightful...More

On a repeat visit with friends we called in to sample the range of wines on tasting. As usual they didn’t disappoint. The cafe was a welcome spot to sit down and enjoy a coffee and a snack. Great range of items in the entrance...More

Thank you very much for posting your review. I always read reviews and yours is one of the best, it covers everything in a short couple of sentences but says a lot. We have a great team at Soljans and everyone works hard...More

Dear ktschmidt57, What a pleasure it was to read your review, you hit on two of the maybe most important points one should look for when visiting a restaurant, fantastic food and really good service. We pride ourselves on providing both these as standard practise...More

We went for Lunch during the week and weren't that impressed. The prices are over the top. The meal was served too quickly, really didn't have time to sit and unwind for a few minutes. We both had fish n chips - portion of fish...More

Dear crawshaw-tatpen,
I always read reviews be they good or not so good, because they are generally important and we can learn from them. I find it difficult to know how to answer yours however, as it would seem that nothing was up to standard...More

I was looking forward to visiting Soljan's after hearing good things. The service was good and friendly but the food was all delivered on mashed potato (lots of it). My husbands chicken looked the same as my lamb shank. I wasn't very impressed with the...More

A somewhat disappointing family lunch. Staff needs to be trained much better to justify the prices they charge. When we asked the waitress what seafood there was on the platter, she replied she could not answer due to the complicated Croatian names. When the platter...More

Dear Tabatha1998,
Not very often I am lost for words but I must admit to be scratching for answers on how to reply to your review. I think first up I thank you,it seems quite clear some one has slipped through the cracks in the...More

Dear Jess L,
